Pick a prompt to write from this chapter ..........
Annabelle Agnelli is trying to hold it together in the parking lot of Dick's Drive-In. After what just happened, she's stunned. Frozen. And then--imagine it--Annabelle's wrecked self suddenly takes off like a lightning bolt. She's clutching the white bag, which has the unfortunate word, Dick's, stamped across it in orange. Her burger is still warm. She's holding the Coke, too, which sloshes like a stormy sea as she tries to outrun the bad visions of the recent past. French fries spring loose in the bag, and it shakes around like a maraca. Of course she's heard that saying--A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Coach Kwan has a poster of it in his office. It shows the silhouette of a girl at sunset, running up a steep mountain path, and it's all clouds parting and God rays shining down and purple mountain majesties. There is no panic and dropped napkins and hair flying. That poster does not look like this. Where is she going? No idea. Why is she going? Well, sometimes you just snap. Snapping is easy when you're already brittle from the worst possible thing happening. It is easy when you're broken and guilty and scared. You snap just like that. Like the snap has been waiting around for the right moment. So, now, Annabelle Agnelli is no longer trying to hold it together in the Dick's Drive-In parking lot. She's lost it. Utterly lost it. She's ditched her car entirely, and she's jogging down the sidewalk, fast, at a really good clip. Coach Kwan would be proud. She's getting sweaty and her mind is swirling, and it's all a little unhinged for the straight-A student that she is. She is a good and nice person who keeps things together, but that has been a big job, an enormous job, a job that's way, way too big for her lately.
